SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Before changing an unfamiliar codebase, developers need to understand its structure, architecture, and reusable components. This Skill runs a structured discovery workflow that maps the repository so planning decisions are grounded in what already exists. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Repository Mapping: Analyzes an existing repository to surface its architecture and reusable components before any change is planned. - Canonical Workflow Delegation: Reads the Copilot adapter contract and executes the canonical discover workflow, resolving source resources relative to that file. - Use Case: A developer joining a new project asks the agent to survey the codebase; the Skill produces a discovery output in the working repository that informs the subsequent planning step. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to map this repository's architecture and reusable components before planning any changes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I map an existing repository before planning changes?▼

Invoke the discover workflow, which reads the Copilot adapter contract and executes the canonical discover process. It analyzes the repository's architecture and reusable components, writing the results to the working repository for use in planning.

What does repository discovery produce for planning?▼

Discovery produces a map of the existing repository covering relevant architecture and reusable components. This output is written to the working repository and serves as grounded input for the subsequent planning step.

Can I use repository discovery with GitHub Copilot?▼

Yes, the Skill is designed for GitHub Copilot clients. It reads the Copilot adapter contract first, then follows the adapter's tool mapping, authorization, and verification rules while executing the canonical workflow.

When should I run repository discovery in a workflow?▼

Run discovery before planning any changes to an existing repository. It establishes an understanding of current architecture and reusable components so that plans and build cards are based on what already exists.
